Complimentary Slips



The reason I really enjoyed designing these was because the comp slips idea gave me a unique chance to play around with different types of professional colour schemes and clean, crisp, subtle designs and layouts. I think a lot of these are suitable for what I was doing, others are not and are nicer to look at and are more professional than others. For example, my favourite of all of these is the bottom, second to the left end slip. I think the cream, bold text which is neatly laid out goes perfect with the lighter, graphite grey background. It is by far the best of all 10 slips (in my opinion). But as much as I like this design I think the top, second to far left is more suitable to my 'company' and the project and hand and to all of the other things I done previously. This is because in all of the other products I design (such as business cards) the majority of them had darker (usually charcoal grey) backgrounds which turned out to be quite dark, solid colours with lighter, plainer and more solid black and white text. Although I also played around with different filters, colour schemes and textures for my business cards the colour schemes turned out to be considerably different to these comp slips.
